National Gummy Worm Day Gummi worms are one of the most popular gummi candies, originally created by a German company called Trolli in 1981. Celebrate Gummi Worm Day with a packet of your favourite type of gummi worms! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/gummi-worm-day/National Pet Fire Safety Day The combined efforts of the Kennel Club and ADT Security Services led to the first Pet Fire Safety Day being held in the late 2000s. The idea behind the event is to make pet owners aware of the hazards their beloved cat, dog, or other animal could pose in the home with regard to fire. Many fires are caused by pets, especially when they are left alone in a property and the intention is that by highlighting the dangers to owners it can help in preventing them.
Pet owners should take advantage of the day to discuss who in a home is responsible for helping a pet escape in the event of a blaze and carry out some practice escape drills. They can also use Kennel Club advice to pet proof their home against fires and install a pet alert notice in a window for use by emergency services. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/pet-fire-safety-day/
Tapioca Pudding Day Tapioca Pudding Day could well be the day to redeem the nightmares of school puddings and rediscover the delights of tapioca when the mysterious grey sludge is actually done properly.
Luckily, modern cooks and recipe-book writers have exerted a bit more imagination on the question of how best to use the cassava root flour, so youll be able to find many more appealing variations on the old classic.
Start with tapioca flour, or pearls or even whole root. Try it with cream, milk or coconut milk. Mix in spices, fruit or citrus juices. Layer it with chocolate or jam or tasty syrups. Make it thin and runny, or chunky and firm. Try whipping in an egg or two. Explore variants from every continent. There are even savoury puddings, if you dont have such a sweet tooth.
Then be thankful its just once a year. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/tapioca-pudding-day/
